The cops then pulled this person over for suspicion of DUI....is this some firm of entrapment?
Entrapment is an officer inducing you to do something you wouldnt otherwise do. Which is not the caae here. However, simply leaving a bar parking lot is probably insufficient for a car stop.
With other factors present it can be considered by the officer in forming reasonable suspiscion... Read more »

If the charges are dropped before the court process even start
It really depends on what your fee agrement says. Please read carefully. Many criminal defense lawyers have 'non refundable' fees set forth in their fee agreement.

In Pennsylvania, the statute of limitations for legal malpractice can be two or four years from the time that you knew or should have know that the attorney did something wrong,
He has had her for 4 years from never giving her back to me amd is now not taking care of her properly he has an opend case with cny in another county . I want to take her to live with me and he is going to get aggressive and call the police . Will I get introuble for taking my daughter from him?
I would not recommend that you just take the child away from him if there's an open CYS case. Talk to an experienced family law attorney to determine whether you should consider filing for custody.
"Legally," there's nothing (yet) preventing you from doing so . . . or from him snatching your daughter from YOU. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. And that's why your best bet is to file a custody action and get a court order outlining who has custody,... Read more »
You would retain them to represent the client for a limited purpose. However many lawyers might not go with this because the Court may require they file a withdrawal of counsel and even if that's what the defendant agreed to the Court can say "too bad--we aren't letting you out."
Trapped for 2 hrs repeatedly called emergency button in elevator they did nothing
This is not really a legal malpractice question, but a personal injury question. Most personal injury attorneys offer free consultations so Google personal injury lawyers or search Justia or AVVO in Philadelphia.

It appears that your husband is represented by an attorney. All questions should be asked on existing legal counsel.

That is not usually how it goes. The judge will want all attorneys to enter their appearances.
We were told we have a potential case
I am located in Pittsburgh. If you would like to call me to discuss this my phone number is 412-391-7135.
When I call the attorneys office he never responds to my calls.should I get another attorney?
No, when you call an attorney they should return your call within a day or two. Are you sure the case was filed?
I can only answer as to Pennsylvania law. Title 18, section 4913 ("Impersonating a notary public or a holder of a professional or occupational license") is probably what you're looking for.
If you're looking for a similar statute in Maryland, I suggest posting your... Read more »

Don't miss the appeal deadline - you've already got enough... Read more »
Have so many documents in my favor don't know how to proceed
You really should consult with an experienced family law attorney in your area. There's no way this question can be answered in an online forum such as this.
The fact they are an attorney doesn't strip them of the fact that anyone can try to investigate anyone's records. Now if they use an authorization improperly there are issues.

No case law I'm aware of specific to that particular situation. Much would depend on the procedure to be preformed, the degree of risk, the nature of any supervision. Feel free to call if you have further questions. Yes I'm in Memorial Day.
